End of the HFCS Challenge

February 1, 2007 in HFCS Challenge

I wanted to post a little conclusion now that my 30-day challenge has ended.  I haven’t made a mad rush to find any HFCS and injest it – however I did splurge on cookies in a meeting that I *think* only had sugar but I don’t know.

I find I feel better than I have in ages.  The focus I put on fresh veggies has really been good.  I ended up losing about 2 pounds and a couple percentage points of body fat during the 30 days.  Nothing major but as I mentioned yesterday – I found I didn’t have to do a diet over haul to accomplish this chalenge.

I’m getting organized for February and will be back soon with the next month’s focus! If you discovered anything interesting about HFCS – please be sure to post it!

HFCS Free Day #30

January 31, 2007 in daily food, HFCS Challenge

I can’t believe this is the last day for these food tracking posts. I know you will all miss them. ;) I on the other hand will not! :)

I hope that I have helped to show that you don’t have to eat a boring diet in order to eat HFCS free. Additionally I should add – I found eliminating HFCS from my diet very easy. Though I was cautious around crackers and other foods, I really did not need to alter my daily meals at all.

  • Breakfast: oatmeal with almond butter, dried cranberries, milk, and protein powder; coffee (black)
  • Lunch: homemade pizza with baby shitake mushrooms, zucchini, leeks, and spicy capacola with fresh mozarella, clementine
  • Snack: 4-5 little pieces of Dove chocolate
  • Dinner @ The Slanted Door: Imperial Rolls, shaking beef, crab cellophane noodles, eggplant, pear granita; red wine
